Be it known that I, THOMAS JA-MES Boossire, of the city of Hamiltomm the county of Wentworth, in the Province ofOntario Dominion of canadaybuilder, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l/Vindows, of which .the following is the My invention relates to improvements in Windows and more particularlyztoithe kind in which the sashes are capable of being revolved, and the object of the present invention is to devise a Weatherstrip adapted to-be applied to the sides of the sash which will keep out the draft and whichgwill at the same time-be capable of being thrown back to permit of the sash beingrevolved.

A further object is to devise means for limiting and adjusting the lateral movement of the weatherstrips to allow for shrinkage or swelling of the sash.

A further object is to device a weatherstrip for'the above purpose which will more effectually keep out the draft than is the case with the presentform of weatherstrips for revolving sash windowsat present in use, and a still further object is to construct a Weatherstrip which can be more readily and cheaply applied than is at present the case. 1 11 general the structure comprises a window having vertical groovesin the side edges of the sash and the inner face of the sash being rabbeted 'atthe side edges thereof, sliding bars adapted to beconnected to the frame of'the'window; leaf springs inter-' posed between the plates and the brackets, screws extending through the brackets and plates and threaded-into the latter, and links pivotally connected'between the parallel-bars of the Weatherstrip intermediately of the length of the same said links having slots in their free ends, .and said pins on thefim wardly turned ends of the brackets adapted to slideinsaid slots; all as hereinafter more particularlydescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which g V Figure 1- represents an elevation 1 of a window constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 1s a vertical cross-section thereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section thereof takenthrough the lines bb (Fig. 1). Fig. .4 isa horizontal section through thelines a+a '(Fig. 1). Fig. 5 isan enlarged perspective detail of one of'the' sets of parallel Weatherstrip bars. Fig. 6 is a side view thereof. Fig. 7 ,is' a perspective detail of the adjustable plate, bracket and spring.

form. Fig. 10 is avhorizontal section of the modified form showing the manner in which the bracket is connected to the link and Fig. 11 is a vertical cross-section ofthe modified form showing the pulley stiles of the window frame. l I Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the difierent views.

1 is the frame-of the window. 2, 2 are the sashes of'thewindow. 3, 3 are the sliding bars to whioh'th'e sashes are swingably connected. 4, eare'the grooves in the side of the sash and 5, 5 are the rabbets. 6,6 are parting strips between the sashes. 7 7 are the parting strips-on the inside of the win dow., 8, '8 and 8', 8 are the bars of the Weatherstrip suitably spaced apart and rigidly connected together by the rivets 9, 9,

it being understood that the said bars 8 and 8 are respectivel'y parallel to each other and are of equalwidth. 10, 10 are verticalstrips secured to the frame of the window behind the Weatherstrip bars. '11 is a plate adapted to be secured in the sides of the frame. 12 is'an adjustable bracket having an inwardly turned end 13 with a forked extremity 14:. 15 is a-pin on the inner face of the inwardly extending portion. 16 is a leaf spring "interposed between the plate 11 and the bracket 12. 17 is a screw extending through the bracket and threaded 'through the platell. 18 is a link having a hole 19 therethrough, said link being pivotally connected between the parallel bars 8 and 8 by one of the rivets QeXtendi'ng through the'hole19 therein. 20 is a slot'in the link 18. 5 a

In the modification shown in Figs. 9 to '11 inclusive, t esof the frame h ve versliding bars and the pulley cords 22 are suit? ably connected to the sliding'bars. In this 7 11 inclusive, as above stated the parting modification additional grooves 23 are-cut in the-sides of the frame and the parallel bars 8 and 8 are adapted to be thrown back into the. same'in order that'the sash may be revolved. In this construction the parting strips are done away with and the sliding bars being of much smaller size are preferably constructed of suitable metal.

The device is operated as follows :-To Weatherstrip the window the bars 8 and8" are pushed into the grooves 4 and the Tab.

bets 5 respectively, the same being finally pushed slightly outward to lock the forked end 14:. of the bracket around the center rivet 9 to prevent displacement of the bars. When in this position the sashes canbe raised or lowered at will] without interfering with the bars, butwhen it is desired to swing either of the sashes for ventilating orcleaning purposes'the Weatherstrip bars are thrown back against the frame whenit will be; seen they will'beclear of the sashes 2 andlwilll permit of the latter being swung intothe-desired position. r

Further should it be desired to adjustthe bars the screws 1-7; can be turned and thus' the ad ustable bracketl-lQ moved laterally strips have beendone away with, but with the exception of this the construction is the same as inF-igs. 1 to 4 inclusive. Hitherto windows have been constructed-with sliding 'bars'in which one bar is widerthan the other, in fact the front bar is, adapted to butt up againstv the edge of the sash. It is found that the air gets through this'butt joint whereas it is-impossible in-the {present form where both bars are of equal with, one fitting into a groove in the sideof the sash and the other in a rabbet in the face thereof,

for air toget through as it has to travel a muchmore circuitous path than is otherwise the case; also the adjustable bracket is of great advantage as has been stated above.

' Many modifications may be madein the invention without departing from the spirit of the same or the scope of the claims and the form shown is to be taken inan illus- V trativeand not in=a limiting sense. For in stance although I have described my; device as chiefly applied to'the construction shown in'Figs. 1 toe inclusive, it istofbe understood that. a can with'fequalfacility attested to the construction shownin Figs. "9 to 1 1.
